Hamma, of | Cleveland, president of the company, {to the eifect that it could pot jeopar- teizm its interests by waiting longer on the city to carry out its promises in {regard to the putting of a larger span in the Catarajui bridge, and hence it had to look elsewhere for a shipping point. Mr. Hanna stated that Kings- ton was the natural point for shipping the ore, but the company could not af- {ford to take the chance of losing all {this season through the bridge not be ling adequate to pass large vessels through. H the by-law, to be voted the ratepayers on {was not carried, it would involve large financial loss the company, and | henoe it had to act at once and secure {another point of shipment 50 as to be ready for the opening of navigation. Kingston thus loses the shipping plant of the exploration syndicate. Whether tit will be much of a loss is yet to be | seen : i The company has purchased about | 200 acres of land along the waterfront {of Collins Bay. At the city smelting {on by to [site at had three and a half acres, and | | i less than one-third of the waterfront it will have at the Bay. What extra fecst will be involved will be in the {extra railway haul, as the shipments | will 'have to be made over two rail { ways. Mr. Haopna, in his letter to the | mayor, points out that his company | has been dickering with the city for {nearly three months, and politely in- {timates that the civic . authorities | might possibly trest the new agree- | ment, upon which the people were to vote on April 4th, as it 'did the first one--namely, refuse to sign it. The {first agreement was for a sixty-foot span in the bridge. This was passed {by the city council, and signed hy Mr. Hanna, as president of the company, but when the company's solicitor, J. IM. Farrell, went to the city buildings with $14,000 of the company's money to bind the agreement, the mayor, un- der instructions from the city solici- tor, ref to- sign the agreement. Mr. Hanna states . that . perhaps the {mayor was acting according to law, {but he points out that.the informa- tion concerning the cost of the span and other matiers should have been secured before the agreement was pass- od by the council and not aftérwards. He points out that the company has done everything 'possible to make an agreement with the city, but it can wait no longer. It even started the construction of the $40,000 pier and has driven in most of the piles re- quired. He states further that when he cathe here last week he thought that everything was ready to go ahead with the construction of the new span iu the bridge, and was sur- April 4th, | inane 3 mained and continued constructing its pier and concentrator. It will pot cost half as much to construct the ne- cessary pier at Collins Bay. All the company's timber has been removed from the city's smelting site, but it will not be worth the company's while to remove the piles, which will re main for some other concern. : it will pow be necessary for the city council to revise the by-law to the people for the purchase of Cataraqui bridge and for the construction of a span. Just because the exploration syndicate has decided not to ship its ore from here does not mean the throwing up of the bridge purchase and improvement. These things must still be done and as soon as possible. It was clearly stated in the city coun- cil sessions that whether the iron com- pany went ahead or not, the lower portion of Kingston harbor must be opened to navigation by large vessels. At present it is closed, and the city loses much thereby. The plan now is to try and buy the bridge for less than fifty cents on the dollar. One prominent alderman declares that it can be purchased for $10,000, or about £5,000 less than the city would have paid had the iron company decided to remain. The reason for paying fifty cents a dollar was that the bridge had to be secured at once, and the bridge | company shareholders might not have | accepted anything less at the present | time. The board of trade had meetings on Monday and Tuesday to try and in- duce the iron syndicate to remain, but (Mr. Hanna would not\ consent to |change his Collins Bay plans, and con- | struction work is now in progress there. The board of trade was pre: paring to turn out, on April 4th, and carry the by-law, declaring that there | was no doubt of its carrymg. It is agreed by both representatives of the city and the company that it would not have paid the city or the Dominion government to have dredged the harbor and put a span in the bridge simply for the benefit of the iron company alone. The harbor and | bridge improvements were to be made with a view to the interests of navi- gation. The exploration company has been the means of waking up the coun- cil to the necessity of opening the low- er harbor. The twenty or more men who would have been employed would have been a benefit to the city, but not to the extent of causing the ex- penditure o¥ perhaps $50,000 on the | harbor. 3 WHIG WAS THE FIRST ---- To Announce the Militia Command Changes, The Whig was the first newspaper C BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, YOUNG MAN' GATHERED IN BY ~ POLICE.

Tuesday night in with a number of young men and started drinking, At ope o'clock this morning he fell on the roadway near the overhead bridge on Rideau street and came within an ace of rolling into a pool of water, where he would have smothered to death had not a man passing that way come to his assistance. He was in bad shape when the man came along. He was helpl#ss and a call was sent in to the police, Constable Arniel secured a cab and brought the unfortunate young man to.the police station. leach was put through a cross- examination, as regards where he had been served with liquor, * but he said he had not secured it himself, The other men secured the liquor. They had three bottles. He declared that the men knew he was on the "pro- hibited list." One remarked to him "Now 'be sure and don't get drunk)" whereupon he said "I don't want to, and will not if I can help it." But one drink gave him an appetite for others, with the result that he was knocked out. a week. James O'Brien came up from Gan: anoque and as he had not had a drink all winter he thought he would sample some of Kingston's liquor. It was too much for him, however, and he fell by the wayside. A police constable came to his rescue. He paid a fine of &1 and costs, with the option of ten days. John Purtell, "also drunk," ted that he had taken a little much, but pleaded for a chance, stat ing that he would place himself on the "prohibited list."
